Great Blue Heron

On my way home the other day I glanced over at the pastures to see what horses were out and noticed a heron up on the fence. There is a small pond across the road from this field where I guess he was coming from. You see plenty of them around the creeks in our area, but I've never seen one up on the farm anywhere. Really cool birds. Oh, I couldn't get my camera to focus on the bird, it kept focusing on the branch in front of it.
